Communist China's international relations reach well beyond its
official representation abroad, and numerous devices have been utilized
to extend these relations. In addition to diplomatic representation ex-
changed with 11 Sino-Soviet bloc nations, official recognition exists
as of the date of this compilation with Yugoslavia and 20 other nations.
Israel announced recognition of Communist China in January 1950, but
Communist China has never reciprocated. In addition, trade delegations
have been established on a permanent basis in at least 9 of these 30
countries. Trade and cultural agreements have been entered into with
all the Sino-Soviet bloc nations and with at least 10 of the other na-
tions with which official representation has been established, most of
these on a government-to-government basis.
This compilation indicates in Part I the location of Chinese Com-
munist diplomatic representations and the names of ambassadors, ministers,
and consuls, as appropriate. It also names the cultural attaches or
counsellors whose dual tasks seem to be the development of Chinese Com-
munist influence in and control over the overseas Chinese communities,
and the expansion of cultural exchanges between their country of assign-
ment and Communist China.
Part II lists the commercial attaches and counsellors at the various
diplomatic installations who, along with the official permanent trade
representatives, seek to expand trade between Communist China and the
areas in which they are assigned. Key figures in the Ministry of Foreign
Trade of the Chinese (Communist) People's Government, and in the national
corporations, the China National Import and Export Corporation, and China
Resources Company are also named. Officials of the China Committee for
Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) are also included since this
committee is an official front organization which sponsors trade delega-
tion exchanges with non-Communist countries.
Other official organs of the Chinese Communist government which
extend into areas outside the mainland and play a part in that government's
international relations, which are covered under Part III, axe: The Bank
of China and other Chinese Communist-controlled banks, the China Travel
Service, the New China News Agency, the China Insurance Company, the Min
An Insurance Company, and the international operations of the Civil Avia-
tion Administration, all under control from Peking.
Participation in the many international Communist front organiza-
tions is covered in Part IV which lists those known to be active in this
regard and through such activities to be in contact with representatives
of Communist parties throughout the world.

A separate portion, Part V, of this study is concerned with the
Chinese People's Association for Cultural Relations with Foreign Coun-
tries (ACRFC) and the cultural offensive it has conducted, particularly
in concert with the China friendship associations internal to Communist
China and those in other nations.
The final section, Part VI, is devoted to a summary report on the
interchange of delegations with non-Communist countries, with particular
emphasis on the travel of Communist Chinese delegations to these coun-
tries in 1955 and 1956.
It is to be emphasized that this compilation covers the highlights
of Communist China's relations with foreign countries and the more im-
portant representatives in and to these countries acting officially for
the CPG, CCP, or organs under their direction and control. These offi-
cial representatives in many cases are stationed outside China but are
not to be considered among that body of persons generally referred to as
"Overseas Chinese." Strenuous efforts have been made since 19+9 by the
Chinese Communists to gain influence and control over the some 1+,900,000
Chinese residing outside the China mainland. One of the principal ef-
forts of some of the official representatives in foreign countries, par-
ticularly the diplomatic installations and their cultural counsellors and
attaches, is directed at winning the loyalty to Communist China of these
Chinese overseas, maintaining a flow of remittances from them to the
China mainland, and fostering the return to Communist China of foreign-
trained Chinese technicians who are so badly needed in that country. The
subject of the Chinese overseas is a separate one and is not dealt with
as such in this compilation.
At the end of the text of this compilation will be found:
a. Appendix A, a listing of the abbreviations used in the
text and the organizations for which they are adopted.
b. Appendix B, an alphabetical tabulation of Chinese named
(non-Chinese are not included).
The alphabetical tabulation is not to be considered as providing
full biographical data on the persons named. For the most part it in-
dicates only their connections in a leadership capacity with the or-
ganizations and activities with which this compilation is concerned.
In a few instances the connections of individuals with Chinese Commu-
nist Party or Chinese People's Government organs have been included.
Members of the executive or central committees of the various non-Com-
munist political parties, All China federations, and domestic front or-
ganizations appear only when such membership occurs incidental to list-
ing of the names, for other reasons, within the scope of this paper.

Use of the alphabetical tabulation in conjunction with the list of
abbreviated organizational titles will facilitate its usefulness. For
example, the list of abbreviations (Appendix A) shows WPC as the code
used for the World Peace Council, whose Chinese Communist leaders are
named on page 42 of Part IV. Reference to this page shows the name KUO
Mo-jo. In the alphabetical listing (Appendix B) his connections with
other organizations, particularly those covered in the text, will be
noted. Although some of the organizations coded after KUO's name are
not covered in this compilation (CPC - China Peace Committee; ACFSS -
All China Federation of Scientific Societies), the identity of these
organizations may be determined from Appendix A, the list of abbrevia-
tions, and the scope of KUO's participation in non-CCP, non-government
activities will be indicated. It should be understood that the organiza-
tions shown after each name represent only those more important ones
with which the individual is known to be associated.
Reference to the Table of Contents, Part VI, will indicate that
delegations to and from non-Communist countries have been broken down
into l4 basic categories. In Appendix B, the alphabetized list of
names, it will be noted, for example, that the data on LIU Ning-i in-
cludes a reference "see Part VI, Trade Unions and Peace Groups." This
indicates that LIU Ning-i is named in these two sections of Part VI.
It should be clearly understood that Part VI does not include all dele-
gations to and from non-Communist countries but only represents a small
cross section of the total number of persons travelling to and from
these countries since 1 January 1955. The Chinese Communist press claimed
that in this two-year period more than 11,000 persons travelled from
Communist China to 49 non-Communist nations, while more than 10,000 per-
sons from 75 non-Communist countries visited Communist China in delega-
tions or as individuals. Those delegations listed in Part VI, therefore,
are only a small sampling of the total exchanges of delegations.

Listed below are the countries with which Communist China has diplo-
matic relations, including the consulates in these countries, together
with the names of its ambassadors, consuls, and cultural attaches or
counsellors.
Cultural attaches are included in the list since they appear to be
principally responsible for stimulating cultural exchanges between Com-
munist China,and countries in areas where they are located. The cultural
attaches also appear to be responsible for maintaining contact with the
Chinese communities overseas and the formation and activities of the China
friendship associations.
